    My sister used to have My Little Ponies and I had GI Joe and we used to play together nicely. Right up until the point where the machine guns came out. I always won.

    Yes! That was her!

    I had the ponies too. What's funny is that they are cool again, my kids must have about 40 of them.

    I was surprised to see them make a come back and without a cartoon to push the product. They had a cartoon back then.....not that I watched it or anything ...ahem. Didn't they come after JEM on Saturday mornings.......not that I watched JEM or anything ...ahem.

    The toy industry is one hell of a business....

    Re: Autobots, roll out!

    Haha I remember JEM. And Strawberry Shortcake.

    I am surprised at how many of the 80's toys have made comebacks. Transformers, GI Joe, My Little Pony, Voltron, Care Bears, He-Man, they all have been recycled through in the last 5 years or so. Just goes to show ya, we had all the best toys Power Rangers and Barney just didn't have what it takes.

    The Power Puff Girls were the bomb diggity though.

    Oh, and Tiny Toons!

    Re: Autobots, roll out!

    Yeah, I was going to say, JEM was with a J. My neighbor had all the JEM dolls, and I was soo jealous.

    Fyi...they do have cartoon/movies for the ponies, we've got one. And a little bag, and a towel, and a dance studio, and a little moped...

    Re: Autobots, roll out!

    The MIGHTY GOBOTS never made a come back.. I always thought Leader1 was pretty cool. I use to record that cartoon and slowmo the transformation. The cartoonist actually followed the transformation mechanics of the toy unlike the Transformers cartoon.

    Transformers were better in everyway of course.

    I doubt anyone remembers the short lived ORBOTs. They used a lot of anime style animation for an all american cartoon. I liked that one but it only lasted less than one season.

    I remember the Gobots. Thanks for reminding me of them.

    Does anyone remember Tranzor-Z? The girl robot had boobs that used to shoot out as missiles. Yeah, our mom used to love it when we watched that one.

    I remember the ORBOTs. They had strikingly good animation for something from the 80s. It's a shame that show didn't make it. There were some corny bits, like the hair metal theme song and the cheezy anouncer. "Can the the Galactic Patrol, defender of the United Planets, stop the evil computer Umbra? YOU BET THEY CAN!", but the show had a lot of potential.

    BTW.. The animation was anime like because it was anime. ORBOTs was a Japanese import.

    Wow....didn't read that one. It was good animation.

    NOW WHY HASN'T ANYBODY MENTIONED ROBOTECH!!!!

    The darn cartoon was more SOAP OPERA than action. I would hate it when an entire episode would go by with out showing one robot and the episode was all about Rick's crush on Min-me(?). It was a great series but how did they put that on american after school television?

    Aphrodite A was cool and her missle location made lots of sense. :thumbsup:

    Well, obviously you are very young if you refer to him as the guy from the Matrix. Everyone knows he is Ted, and will always be Ted.

    I think I saw him once on one of those MTV shows. He hasn't done a whole lot since. Kinda like Luke Skywalker...

    Well, at least he's still working.

    Wait, he was in the Lost Boys?

    And, they made a Bill & Ted tv show?!

    Re: Autobots, roll out!

    Did anyone else see this?

    I took it in today, finally. I liked it, I give it a B. Not a great movie, but it was good. I critique it pretty hard because I am basing my opinion on the cartoons, which were much better than the movie, imo. They kinda made everything too showey and complicated and high-tech. They didn't have Shockwave, and Devastator was only a tank? And Megatron was a plane, instead of a gun. Lots of discrepancies from the cartoon. And they had this little weird Decepticon that wasn't in the cartoon. And the action scenes were too fast and shakey, couldn't tell what was going on half the time. AND! They only had the original transforming noise twice in the whole fillm! Boo!

    But, on the good side, the new Camaro looks cool, and the girl in the movie was hottttttttt... and, according to Wikipedia, they are already doing 2 sequels.

    Re: Autobots, roll out!

    I never watched the tv show but did go and see the movie. If you love action you will love the movie. Since I didnt' watch it, I knew nothing of what the sounds were suppose to sound like. Special effects are great and they did a very good job with this movie.
    But like I said you better like action type movies.
